I like watching movies alone

 When I was younger, I always wondered how some people can go in movie theatres alone. I always thought that it has to be the loneliest thing in the world to do, then eating alone at a restaurant is second.

But I see it now.

I see it clearly now that life is not always about cuddles and holding hands. That it's not always about the movie dates and the travel goals because most of the time, it's about you finding peace in the simple things that you do. I eventually learned that life can get so busy that there will be days when you just want to shut everyone out and be with no one but yourself even for just a little while.

I don't know, maybe I'm getting old and becoming less fun of a person to be with. But if this is what peace feels like, hey—I'll take it.
